Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order dismissing the complaint for lack of prosecution. The pendency of a parallel lawsuit involving the same parties constitutes good cause to avoid dismissal. See Insua v. Chantres, 665 So.2d 288 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996); Moler v. Baptist Hosp. of Miami, Inc., 532 So.2d 79 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Smith v. St. George Island Gulf Beaches, Inc., 343 So.2d 847 (Fla. 1st DCA 1976).
